Former Italian Prime Minster and Mayor of Florence Matteo Renzi has taken to Twitter to send his best wishes to all those attending Davide Astori’s funeral today.

Renzi, a well-known Fiorentina fan himself, said: Today Santa Croce said goodbye to Davide Astori and the whole of Florence has embraced the captain’s family. Litigious and controversial, Florence is also a city that knows how to love in an extraordinary way. A thought to little Vittoria, to Francesca, to the parents, to the brothers. Ciao Captain #13”
